Avid hosts dream of creating a space that welcomes guests to their home in a seamless, stress-free environment, and the combination of kitchen, butler’s pantry and alfresco entertaining zones in this new build must be the equivalent of the entertainer’s trifecta.
Designed by Geelong Tiles & Bathware (GT&B) with the family’s social gatherings a key consideration, the kitchen is at the centre of everything. It overlooks the dining table, adjoins the butler’s pantry, and a large sliding doorway allows for unobstructed access to the alfresco area.
A minimalist monochrome palette dominates here, with handmade tiles added to the splashback to create dimension and texture. An engineered timber floor, used throughout the home, adds further interest and warmth. It adjoins terrazzo pavers — chosen to complement the darker brickwork — in the outdoor area, where timber detailing on the table legs and barbecue joinery help to marry the zones together.
With the ability to be completely closed to the elements or open in fine weather, the covered outdoor space offers a year-round extension to accommodate large gatherings. Meanwhile, ample bench space, large undermount sinks and pull-out nozzles on the tapware, in the kitchen and adjoining butler’s pantry make for hassle-free food prep and clean-up.
It’s the perfect set-up for any occasion, be it an intimate dinner party or a large family celebration.
